How does the paint look in natural light? All of the pictures I have seen taken outside make the paint look flat and awesome. The ones taken inside make the paint look metallic, sparkly and bad at some angles.

[Fun of it]

Thanks for posting, I was hoping the M4/M3 would be featured in the 2 day M school by summer. I need to look up fall dates and get myself booked. Am curious to thrash a school car to see how all the specs translate into driving experience.

Looks like the photogs from Roundel were at the Performance Center yesterday taking photos of the F80 I spotted on Sunday:

I posted a video of this car titled

Def pre-production. The engine bay from the DC auto show vehicle had really neat CF bits, can't comment on the exhaust though.

Ahhh the video reminded me of my ///Mschool trip a few years ago. We stayed at the same hotel.

Black wheels are awful, spoil the car.

They always look like steel rims or space saver wheels.

So jealous david!

I love the stamped strut tower brace. I wonder how much lighter the production cf one is, and if there is really a functional benefit, or just bling I like the tape on the engine cover too, seeing preproduction models is always fascinating. Esp a stick!

That car would look so awesome in Interlagos Blue with a gunmetal colored rim (similar color to the rims on the m235i).

I am the only one here that loves black wheels and absolutely hates silver ones?

The blue is just too light no contrast.

+1 we've had silver wheels for decades. It's nice to see something different coming from factories now.

YMB will look amazing with some black exterior mods.

Too lazy to see if these pics were posted earlier in the thread, but here are some from facebook

He definitely shouldn't have let you take a pic of him with the car, especially with his name tag on. He won't have a job, when BMWNA sees this. Lol Sad but true!
